I've been exploring the world of UI/UX recently, and I enjoy it.
It would be helpful to pickup a design tool. I've used figma and sketch, but I'm finding figma to be really helpful.
------------------------------------------------------------------
How I think of things is like this:
1. Either my entire day is dedicated to design
2. Or its dedicated to programming
------------------------------------------------------------------
I find it difficult to swap between design / programming frequently. One requires creativity / looking at lots of things for inspiration. The other requires a more logical mindset.
I would go further with this analogy, there's (4) main roles in webapp development
(1) UI/UX/Design
(2) Frontend Frameworking (React,HTML/CSS/JS/mocking things up, etc)
(3) Backend development (Firebase, nodeJS, etc)
(4) Database development / sysadmin / everything else
Try and only focus on one or two or those things everyday. You can skip (1) if you are emulating a website or building something with a heavy backend MVP. (3) and (4) can be mostly skipped if making a small project in firebase. (2) can be skipped if you use a CSS framework, etc.
